气候引发的自然灾害更加频繁，加剧了本已脆弱的地区营养不良的风险。本研究旨在探讨飓风Idai对育龄妇女和5岁以下儿童营养结果的影响。以家庭为基础的横断面研究是在津巴布韦东部进行的。通过面对面访谈收集数据，以确定食物消费评分（FCS）和家庭膳食多样性（HDDS），妇女最低膳食多样性（MDD-W）和儿童最低膳食多样性（MDD-C）。根据对基础设施的破坏程度和人员伤亡情况，飓风艾达的严重程度被分为五类。连续变量和分类变量之间的关联分别使用Pearson相关检验和卡方检验进行检验。线性和二元逻辑回归进行调查的决定因素的粮食安全。共访问了535户家庭。气旋Idai的严重程度与MDD-W（p = 0.011），HDDS（p = 0.018）和FCS（p = 0.001）之间存在显著相关性。然而，飓风Idai的严重程度不是任何营养结果的决定因素，但户主性别是HDDS的负预测因子（β =-0.734，p = 0.040），户主婚姻状况是FCS的正预测因子（β = 0.093，p = 0.016）。调查结果为今后灾害期间粮食援助活动的规划提供了良好的基准。更重要的是，我们的研究结果呼吁在粮食援助篮子的组成和受益者的目标方面采取基于证据的政策。这项研究的主要优点是，它是第一次调查飓风对粮食和营养安全指标的影响，并以大样本为基础，从而使我们的结果具有普遍性。
The increased frequency of climate induced natural disasters has exacerbated the risks of malnutrition in the already vulnerable regions. This study was aimed at exploring the effects of Cyclone Idai on nutrition outcomes of women of child-bearing age and children under 5 years. The household-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Eastern Zimbabwe. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews to determine food consumption score (FCS) and household dietary diversity (HDDS), minimum dietary diversity for women (MDD-W) and minimum dietary diversity for children (MDD-C). Severity of Cyclone Idai was grouped into five categories based on the extent of damage to infrastructure and loss of human lives. Association between continuous and categorical variables was tested using Pearson correlation test and Chi square test, respectively. Linear and binary logistic regression was performed to investigate determinants of food security. A total of 535 households were interviewed. There was a significant correlation between severity of Cyclone Idai and MDD-W (p = 0.011), HDDS (p = 0.018) and FCS (p = 0.001). However, severity of Cyclone Idai was not a determinant of any nutrition outcome, but gender of household head was a negative predictor of HDDS (β = − 0.734, p = 0.040), and marital status of household head was a positive predictor (β = 0.093, p = 0.016) of FCS. The findings provide a good baseline to inform future programming of food aid activities during disasters. More so, our findings call for evidence-based policies regarding composition of a food aid basket and targeting of beneficiaries. The main strength of this study is that it is the first to investigate the effects of cyclones on food and nutrition security indicators and is based on a large sample size thus making our results generalisable.
